Stay hip and cool with Flavorpill

Even if you’ve turned into a yuppy without realizing it, you can still be cool again. Just visit Flavorpill and subscribe to one of the free weekly newsletters listing the latest local cultural events in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and London. Topics covered include art, books, music, fashion, and world news.

The newsletters are great, but since Flavorpill’s still in beta, you may find parts of the service lacking. For example, the preferred way to subscribe is via e-mail instead of more convenient RSS feeds and calendering systems such as iCal. RSS feeds do exist but only for five of the ten newsletters. Since those feeds aren’t obvious, you can subscribe with these links:

• Flavorpill New York
• Flavorpill San Francisco
• Flavorpill Los Angeles
• Flavorpill Chicago
• Flavorpill London

If you live in San Francisco, Brett Lider’s kindly created a calendar compatible with iCal and Google Calendar:

• Flavorpill San Francisco via iCal
• Flavorpill San Francisco via Google Calendar

Once you’ve subscribed, the next step to increase your cool factor is to actually go to some of the events, or at least say you did.

Does anyone have resources for cool events in other cities? Don’t hesitate to post in the comments!
